"Ice-cold modern noir" Mr. Hyde
The inspiration for Lynne Ramsay's award-winning film, starring Joaquin Phoenix
Joe has witnessed things that cannot be erased. A former FBI agent and Marine, his abusive childhood has left him damaged beyond repair. So he hides away, earning a living rescuing girls who have been kidnapped into the sex trade.
Now he's been hired to save the daughter of a New York senator, held captive at a Manhattan brothel. But he's stumbled into a dangerous web of conspiracy - and he's about to pay the price.
'Ames is an adept purveyor of the very noir, particularly scenes of violence. He achieves more in less than 100 pages than most crime novels three times the length do' - The Times, Crime Books of the Year 2016
'A striking and powerful noir debut that can be consumed in a single sitting... Ames reveals himself here as a stylish thriller writer' - Daily Mail
